<br>
We do have a list, though it isn't all that active at the moment.<br>

A good post on modifying forearm crutch cuffs:<br>

<br>
My favorite quick modification for crutches of any kind is to add<br>
pockets. You can make excellent cupholder, phone/book pockets, etc.<br>
out of duct tape or try to go for something more elegant and permanent<br>
out of other materials.<br>
<br>
A friend of mine made some great crutch holders for her bike from PVC<br>
pipe. If you end up with a knee scooter, you may want to make it some<br>
crutch holders.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
